Item 56374
Operation
Read the ENTIRE IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION section at the
beginning of this document including all text under subheadings therein
before set up or use of this product.
WARNING!
Use as matched pair to support one end of a vehicle only.
Supporting a Vehicle
1. Make sure the vehicle does not exceed
the capacity of the Jack Stands.
WARNING! Weight must be evenly
distributed between each Jack
Stand. You must evenly distribute
the weight
or the Jack Stands may
fail, causing severe injury or death.
Only apply the load vertically.
WARNING!
If a vehicle drops on the
Jack Stands (even if it is under the
weight capacity limit), the principle
of “dynamic loading” takes effect.
The force of the weight falling may cause
the Jack Stands to fail. A vehicle weighing
much less than the Jack capacity may cause
the Jack Stands to fail if dropped on them.
Note:
Do not move the Handle when the
Jack Stands are supporting a vehicle. The
shear pin is designed to shear in the event
the user attempts to move the Handle while
supporting weight. If the pin shears, do not
use the Jack Stands again until the shear
pin is replaced by a qualified technician.
2. Examine Jack Stands for cracks or
damage before each use.
Do not
use if even a minor crack, bend,
or other damage/deformation
appears. Discard Jack Stand
if damaged or deformed.
3. Raise the Handle on each Jack Stand
and completely lower the Post.
4. Block the tires that will
remain on the ground.
5. Following the instructions in your
floor jack manual, raise your
vehicle to just above the minimum
height of your Jack Stands.
6. Move Jack Stands to manufacturer-
recommended vehicle support locations.
Place the Stands at the same point
on each side of the vehicle.
7. Move the Handle up, and raise the Jack
Stands until they are just below the jack
contact point on the vehicle. Center
the load on the Saddle of the Post.
8. Release the Handle so that ratchet
catches on the Pawl. Gently lower
the vehicle with the floor jack. It
may drop down a very small amount
until the ratchet catches on the
Pawl. Repeat on other side.
WARNING!
Set both the
Jack Stands to the same height.
7. Determine if the vehicle is stable.
If not, raise the vehicle and
reposition the Jack Stands.
8. Remove floor jack.
